Most of us in the forum are, I'd guess, either professionally involved with computers, or at least computer enthusiasts. For such people, I honestly don't see anything particularly out of the ordinary in the suggestion that one should have both a PC and a Mac; in that sense, it was indeed a casual suggestion.
To me, a computer - whether it be a PC or a Mac - is just a tool to get a job done, and having more than one tool in one's toolkit often makes jobs rather easier.
For anyone with an Intel-based Mac with Bootcamp, it's perhaps worth noting that one can generally pick up a respectable 2nd hand XP machine for significantly less than it costs to buy a full copy of XP new to install on one's Mac.
